You can order the transfer service from and to Belgrade airport from various travel agencies in Novi Sad. Price can vary from 1800 RSD to 5000 RSD depending if it is calculated per person or per vehicle (vans or cars).

GETTING FROM BELGRADE TO NOVI SAD

You can take train from the Belgrade train station, or bus from the main bus station. The train runs daily in different intervals. However, we do not recommend using trains as they are the least reliable means of transportation. For the timetable please visit: http://www.zeleznicesrbije.com/.

The journey usually lasts between 80 to 120 minutes, depending on the route and traffic.
